Feel like experiencing the largest and most expensive hotel suite in the world? Check in at the Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, according to a survey of top European accommodations by US luxury lifestyle publication Robb Report.

The President Wilson charges at least $85,000 a night for its Royal Penthouse Suite, which occupies the entire eighth floor of the establishment, a total of more than 1,600 square meters together with an even bigger terrace looking out over Lake Geneva.

In addition to 12 bedrooms and bathrooms, occupants have access to a fitness center, a salon outfitted with antiques and fine art, and a 103-inch Bang & Olufsen TV, plus dedicated staff, a private elevator and a guardroom.

The luxury touches may vary, but the suites selected by the Robb Report mostly have breathtaking views: the Atik Pasha Suite at Istanbul’s Four Season hotel ($29,000 a night) over the Bosphorus, the Gritti Palace’s Redentore Terrazza Suite ($16,200) onto Venice’s Grand Canal, and the Hôtel Majestic Barrière’s Majestic Suite ($27,000) along the Croisette at Cannes. The nearby Eiffel Tower can be seen from throughout La Suite Shangri-La ($25,000) at the eponymous Paris hotel, even from the bathtub.

Perhaps surprisingly, the Diamond Suite Penthouse at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo is a relatively modest $9,800 a night, despite a panoramic vista stretching from Monaco’s royal palace along the Mediterranean coast toward Italy.
